C:\program files\WIZETMAPLESTORY\Maplestory.exe
Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

also my AVG mention the following:

Multiple threat detection

File
C:\Program Files\\WIZET\Maplestory\Mplestory.exe

Infection
Virus identified Win32/Themida

Result
Infected

Does that mean Maplestory new patch have virus?
anyone can help me to solve this problem?
I have tried to delete the whole Maplestory and re- download but it does not works. The Maplestory.exe icon is missing.

Please help to advise, thank you

A positive reply has been received and AVG has added Maple Story’s files to the list of trusted programmes. We would like to request Maplers to download the newest version of AVG – AVG 9 – to experience a smoother gameplay. We apologize for the inconvenience.

i found that the only way to play maple when avg is up and running and you still have the warning even though you have out maplestory underneath your exceptions is to turn off your resident shield when you play and turn it on after you are done mapling

For all my cygnus knights, for the quest that you have to get the cynical mushroom doll, i cant collect the cynical mushroom doll because it says file is damaged! But i can still pick up any other item! I redownloaded maplestory like 6 times but it didnt work! Do you think there is something wrong with my computer?

Good day!
I encounter a problem like these guys but because of the steps given above, the problem is fixed. I already download the newest version, and it works well. Thank you guys, Hope you will continue posting the best solution like this.

-Hi there! This is the solution for running maplestory while AVG is active.

hi ayumi i’ve been on ur website searching for guides for months and most of them work pretty well. but if you ever wanted to activate maple without all those fuss, you can search for prescanned programs from the internet to disable antiviruses from checking certain programs like maple, or just disable that command if that antivirus allows it. hope this helps!

U just have to download the latest avg setup. dats wat i did when the aran job came out

If AVG said ‘Access denied’ when you try to put it into your MapleStory folder, then you select another folder (desktop is also ok) and click ok. Afterwards, just cut-and-paste the MapleStory.exe into your Maplestory folder. Your AVG will try to stop it again, so you click ‘Ignore’ and it should be okay onwards.

It will start to transfer and paste the MapleStory.exe into the MapleStory folder now. So, if you want to see whether it works, double-click on the MapleStory.exe itself (NOT the short-cut) and it will open, and you’ll be able to play the game. It worked for me, so I hope it works for you too. Good luck :)

Okay kids i got a easier way . You can keep your AvG anti Virus, ALl you do is go click on it then you click Resident Shield. Then you Click MANAGE EXCEPTIONS and you type in your maple story thing. DONE . Now any other problems then message me
